3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACAP 27 is an adjustment-free, capacitive point level sensor for
liquids.
Typicalapplicationsareoverllordryrunprotectionsforadhesiveas
well as conductive liquids.
The probe works in liquids from a dielectric constant of 1.5.
Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor.
Thecapacitanceisinuencedbythreemainfactors.
1
2
3
Fig. 2: Functional principle - Plate capacitor
1 Distance between the electrode surfaces
2 Size of the electrode surfaces
3 Type of dielectric between the electrodes
The probe and the vessel wall are the capacitor plates. The measured
product is the dielectric. Due to the higher dielectric constant of the
product compared to air, the capacitance increases as the probe is
gradually covered.
The capacitance change is converted by the electronics module into
a switching command.
VEGACAP 27 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated without
external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the
level signal and outputs a switching signal. With this switching signal,
a connected device can be operated directly (e.g. a warning system,
a pump etc.).
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
3.3 Adjustment
The probe can be adapted to the dielectric constant of the product
directly on the electronics module.
A switching command can be triggered when the probe is covered or
laid bare.

3.4 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE
foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
•
Not in the open
•
Dry and dust free
•
Not exposed to corrosive media
•
Protected against solar radiation
•
Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration
•

4.1 General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument coming in direct contact
with the process, especially the sensor element, process seal and
processtting,aresuitablefortheexistingprocessconditions,such
as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.
Youcanndthespecicationsinchapter"Technical data"andonthe
nameplate.
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-
tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1.
In general the level switch can be mounted in any position. The instru-
ment must be mounted in such a way that the probe is at the height of
the requested switching point.
Before beginning the welding work, remove the electronics module
from the sensor. By doing this, you avoid damage to the electronics
through inductive coupling.
Ground the probe before welding directly on the rod or cable.
With threaded versions, the housing must not be used to screw in the
instrument! Applying tightening forces on the housing can damage its
internal parts.
Use the hexagon for screwing in.
Usetherecommendedcables(seechapter"Connecting to power
supply")andtightenthecablegland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cableentry.Rainandcondensationwatercanthusdraino.Thisap-
plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where
high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on
cooled or heated vessels.

versions or long rod versions, the sensor can be damaged simply by
the weight of the instrument.

Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
4.2 Mounting instructions
Duetotheeectsofagitators,equipmentvibrationorsimilar,thelevel
switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do
not use an overly long electrode for VEGACAP 27, but check if you
canmountashortlevelswitchonthesideofthevesselinhorizontal
position.
Extreme vibration caused by the system, e.g. due to agitators or
turbulenceinthevesselfromuidisation,cancausetheprobeof
VEGACAP 27 to vibrate in resonance. If a longer rod version is neces-
sary, you can secure the probe by fastening a suitable brace or guy
directly above the end of the rod.
Iftheinstrumentismountedinthellingstream,unwantedfalse
measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount the
instrument at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from
llingopenings,agitators,etc.,canoccur.
This applies particularly to instrument versions with a longer probe.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Warning:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.
•
The electrical connection must only be carried out by trained
personnel authorised by the plant operator.
•
Alwaysswitchopowersupply,beforeconnectingordisconnect-
ing the instrument.
Connect the voltage supply according to the following connection
diagrams. The electronics module CAP E31R is designed in protec-
tion class I. To maintain this protection class, it is absolutely neces-
sary that the ground conductor be connected to the internal ground
terminal. Take note of the general installation regulations.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
The instrument is connected with standard three-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
Make sure that the cable used has the required temperature resist-
anceandresafetyformax.occurringambienttemperature
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of
5…9mm(0.2…0.35in)ensuresthesealeectofthecablegland.
Ifyouareusingcablewithadierentdiameterorcross-section,
exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Note:
When placing the housing cover, make sure that the inspection glass
is above the signal lamp of the electronics module.
5.2 Wiring plan, single chamber housing
We recommend connecting VEGACAP 27 in such a way that the
switching circuit is open when there is a level signal, line break or
failure (safe state).
The relays are always shown in non-operative condition.
The two relays (DPDT) work synchronously. Hence it is possible to
control also e.g. a horn and a magnet valve.

ToadjustVEGACAP27,loosenrstofallthefourscrewsontheup-
per side of the instrument with a screwdriver and remove the housing

You can adapt the switching point to the solid with the potentiometer.
The electronics is adjustment free and an adaption is only necessry in
exceptions.See"Exceptions".
With the mode switch you can change the switching condition of the
relay.Youcansettherequiredmode(A-max.detectionoroverll
protection, B - min. detection or dry run protection).
We recommend connecting according to the idle current principle
(relaycontactdeenergizeswhentheswitchingpointisreached),
because the relay always takes on the same (safe) state if a failure is
detected or in case of mains failure.
Control lamp for indication of the switching status
•
Control lamp on = Relay deenergised
The measuring system is immediately ready for operation.
The switching point must no longer be set with VEGACAP 27.
The probe has an active tip and a screen segment. Thanks to the
screen segment, the so called standing capacitance, caused by the
vessel after installation of the probe, is mainly compensated.
As a default setting, the electronics module is adjusted to the basic
capacitance of the probe. The relay output switching when the active
tip is covered (active tip: 50 … 150 mm / 2 … 5.9 in) of the electrode.
Changing dielectric values of the products, such as e.g. caused in
mixing vessels are no problem for the switching accuracy within the
active pin. The selection of the electrode length is hence very impor-
tant because the length of the electrode determines the switching
point. This switching point cannot be shifted on the electrode.
In exceptions, e.g. in pipelines or if the probe is mounted very close to
thevesselwall,itcanhappenaththeprobesignalsalreadyoverlling
(covering) in uncovered condition.
In this case, the switching point must be re-adjusted.
Foradjustment,thevesselmustnotbelledandtheswitchingpoint
adjustment is also possible in dismounted condition.
A fresh adjustment is necessary in the following cases:
•
for probes with a length of more than 3 m (9.8 ft)
•
in narrow space installation conditions with high standing capaci-
tance (e.g. in tubes etc.)
•
after exchange of the electronics module
Proceed as follows for a fresh adjustment:
1. Make sure that the probe is uncovered.
2. Pierce the cover of the potentiometer (6) with a screwdriver.

protection, B - dry run protection). Wiring should be car-
ried out according to the idle current principle.
Operating voltage too low Check operating voltage
Shortcircuit in the probe,
e.g. because of moisture in
the housing
Remove the electronics module. Check the resistance
between the marked plug connections. See the follow-
ing instructions.
Electronics defective Press the mode switch (A/B). If the instrument then
changes the mode, the instrument may be mechani-
cally damaged. Should the switching function in the
correct mode still be faulty, return the probe for repair.
Push the mode switch. If the probe then does not
change the mode, the electronics module may be de-
fective. Exchange the electronics module.
Remove the electronics module. Check the resistance between the
two plug connections.
There must no longer be a connection (high impedance). If there is
still a connection - exchange the instrument or return it for repair

Measure the resistance values between the following contacts with an
ohmmeter(rangeMΩ).
Contact 4 against contact 1 (middle pin)
Theresistormustbe2MΩ.
If the resistor is lower, this means moisture in the housing or a fault in
the electrode insulation. A possible reason could be also a non-insu-
lated electrode which is used in a conductive (humid) medium.
If the resistor is higher or if the connection is interrupted, the reason is
mostly a contact error in the adapter plate or a defective resistor due
to strong electrostatic arking.
In both cases, the probe must be repaired in our premises.
Contact 4 against vessel

ance value between contact 4 and vessel with an ohmmeter (range
